This was the most fun I have had in quite some time. The Farm To Consumer Legal Defense Fund Dinner at the Weston Price Conference on Thursday night was really worth coming into Dallas a day early for! These folks sure know how to throw a party! From the scarecrow contest to the organ meat appetizer competition to the 5 star grassfed steak dinner to the aloe shooters to the music — it was a blast!

It started with an Organ Meat Appetizer Cookoff with the winners named the “Emperor of Entrails” or “Empress of Offal”. There were four teams consisting of the farm that supplied the offal and a chef creating a delicious surprise. The competition was tough and the voting got pretty heated.

And the winner is… Miller’s Organic Farm with a movable scarecrow! (It was alive!)

The panel of distinguished judges:

1. Sally Fallon Morell – author of Nourishing Traditions Cookbook, the instigator!
2. Dr. Joe Mercola, DO – the one and only King of Health on the web!
3. Dr. Will Winter, retired DVM – infamous eater of all things offal!

While having a wonderful sit down dinner, New York chapter leader Caroline Barringer (of Immunitrition fame) serenaded us with her beautiful voice to the accompaniment of acoustic guitarist Steve Cassano. It was heavenly.

I don’t know how I’m going to handle all this amazing food this weekend! This is just the beginning!

But it didn’t stop there. The fantastic Quebe Sisters played some down home Texas Two Step music to listen and dance to.

Then there was also the Bring or Bid on a Homemade Lard or Butter Crust Pie at the Also-Authentically-Texan-Pie-Auction.

And if you didn’t have enough, the After Party of top 40 music and dancing until the cows came home. This was way past my bedtime. I’m pooped. Can’t wait for tomorrow!

I’m really looking forward to this event next year as well! It raises a lot of money for a very worthy case, one that is essential if we are going to move forward and support our local farmers. If you missed this funtastic event perhaps you would consider donating to the FTCLDF.
